My Little Pony IV: Friendship is Sufficiently Advanced Technology

[Thanqol]

Yup, that's the one.

I apologise, I'm currently sorting my pony folder (Winter Wrap Up, Winter Wrap Up!) so I'll be able to respond appropriately to such challenges in the future.

[PhoeKun]

Sharing is for girls.

We aren't friends anymore. Jerk.

[darthbobcat]

Speaking Winter Wrap-up, I can see how you'd clean up winter (remove snow and ice) and fall (get the leaves out off the tree). How do you think they shift from spring to summer?

I have a proposal

Rainbow Dash:
Three months of springtime coolness
And a couple holidays
Pinkie Pie
We kept out hoofsies hard at work
Not too much time to play
Applejack
And the seeds we plant are growing up
So we'll have a bumper crop
Rarity
But these pastels are so last month
And it is time to stop."

Twilight Sparkle
"So now it's time to say goodbye
To wind and April showers
Instead it is time to bring the sun
And all its awesome powers
How can I help? Still new you see
How can we end the spring?
It's not like we can plow all the flowers
Away or anything."

Chorus
"Shift Earth's axis, shift Earth's axis!
We're bending some time and some space
How we do it? Please don't ask us
We put physics in its place!

[AlterForm]

Yup, that's the one.

I suppose now we need "Just Kidding! I posted [XXX]" images for all the mane cast now so we can rotate as appropriate?

[Gaelbert]

It occurs to me that Granny Smith kind of depresses me as well. I mean, I like that they included an extended family for one of the characters, I quite like that. But her existence means that magical ponies grow old and die.

There's a screencap of a story somewhere online. The story is about Spike growing old, and the rest of the mane cast died of old age before him. If somepony could post that image, I would be very appreciative.

Wh... what? It's like Puff the Magic Dragon times 1000!

[Gaelbert]

It has a... happyish ending, but yeah. It was only a few paragraphs, but I still cried.

And to this day I will not accept the end of Puff the Magic Dragon as canon. I don't care what the movie said, that's not how it happened.

I am simultaneously grateful and ENRAGED that you found the link. Stupid sad Spike.

Time to counter this. I need some laughter to help me giggle away the weepies, or however that went. Warning: not pony related.

No, I'm not going to provide context. Trust me, it changes nothing, the entire thing still makes no dang sense.

I knew that image was going to screw with the internet.

...Fluttershy, why is everything you do so completely adorable and mesmerizing? Someday in the distant future, when I am on my death bed, my lone regret in life will be that I will never have hugged this squeaky yellow creature.

Because... ohmygosh.

Great.. you know now I am gonna have to go request some video/sound brony on ponychan to make a video like that with Pinkie Pie instead....

I hope Princess Celestia likes white cake with lemon frosting

I see what you did there.I approve.

Rainbow Dash walked in. "Nope. I'm here for some books."

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Really? You?"

Rainbow Dash raised her chin with a huff. "What? You think I don't read?"

Twilight said, flipping through her records to double check, "Well, everypony else checks out books occasionally, but you don't even have a library card."

See?! This sort of stuff always happens. Nopony ever just says "sure, and hey; check out fitness section, we got some new magazines.". DON'T LET THEM KEEP YOU DOWN! VIVA LA PEGASI LITERACY!

[1dominator]

Dear god, 4th thread. Took me forever to catch up, but now that I am finally here the time for lurking is over, now is the time for ACTION!

On to the subject matter at hand, this show is seriously epic. The lack of episode this week makes me sad, but #22 looks quite promising. The iron hoof hypothesis shall finally be put to the ultimate test!

EDIT: In the meantime, do you guys have any fanfics to recommend? The are so many...

[Entertainer13]

I went out of town for the past two days. Brought Rarity along as co-pilot (the store one, not McDonalds), and had some fun with old friends.

I come back to discover a thread closed, and a new one open with already 8 pages... THESE PONIES WILL NOT CEASE THEIR UNYIELDING POWER!!

If you don't mind shipping, I quite like Phoe's.

Pegasus Ponies have no culture outside of their service to Celestia!

Just out of curiosity, what do you think I did there? I wasn't shooting for any hidden meaning.

Edit: As far as fanfics I personally recommend: well, first off, egotistically, I have a couple, which are listed on the first page of the thread under the section for the output of the thread. I'm also fond of

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...y-bubbles.html Bubbles. Warning: SAD.

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...r-of-ways.html The Opener of Ways

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...pys-lover.html Derpy's Lover. Delightfully wrong.

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...om-beyond.html Fluttershy and the Beast From Beyond

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...es-play-d.html Ponies Play D&D

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/0...mple-eyes.html Through Simple Eyes, starring Big Macintosh.

That's hardly exhaustive, but they're some of my favorites.

[SiuiS]

I also recommend Chasing Rainbows as a good starter 'fic. Alternately, Bubbles. they are both short and sweet; easy to read, but no loss of quality for their (relative) brevity. Bubbles is kind of depressing though. So be careful.

Bobcat, I just enjoy the inter-correlation with fiction, images and pony threads.

I believe someone (mayhap a Darth, mayhap not) mentioned said cake (White with lemon frosting) when last Luna's birthday was mentioned. I was admittedly sleep-addled when I first saw it come up in conversation- I'm sleep addled now- but the connection made me smile.

And whether it was intentional or not, ya still did it. So there =Þ

Oooh, yup, that was me. After all, if I say it often enough, it becomes localized fanon.

Things I think I've managed to make stick so far

- Rainbow Dash's middle name, Miriam
- The white cake with lemon frosting thing
- Some place names (Ponyconia, Hispania LAND OF SCIENCE AND SENSUALITY and Ponydanavia)
- Ke$ha Luna as a valid character interpretation
But my greatest coup has been convincing people that

Alternately, she body checked Pinkie in the face after jumping sideways.

Though, like people said, there are good moments. Fluttershy is a tree for example. <.<

SIlly kuppy. Fluttershy isn't a tree!
